For example, AquaMan's name was changed to SpoutMan in the English anime to avoid confusion with the DC Comics superhero of the same name.
Other inconsistencies between the English game and anime resulted from similarities in name to American superheroes. As a result, the names of FireMan, BombMan, and NapalmMan also changed (while the original names were retained in the English games). Among one of the more notable edits made was the editing out of words such as "fire," "bomb," and "napalm," which were thought to be inappropriate for younger viewers. Like many English adaptations of other anime series, MegaMan NT Warrior is edited due to Americanization and the shifting of the target demographic toward a younger audience.
